How It Works:

• Amlodipine belongs to a class of medicines called calcium channel blockers.

• It relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and making it easier for the heart to pump blood.

• This helps lower blood pressure, reduce chest pain, and improve oxygen delivery to the heart muscles.

---

Dosage:

• Usually taken once daily, at the same time each day.

• Your doctor will decide the exact dose based on your condition and blood pressure control.

• Do not skip or stop taking it suddenly, as this can cause a sudden rise in blood pressure or chest pain.

How to Use:

• Take the tablet by mouth with a glass of water, with or without food.

• Continue taking it regularly even if you feel fine — high blood pressure often shows no symptoms.
